How does an eSIM work?

How do I install Madagascar eSIM on iPhone?
Open your order email on your iPhone and tap the install button: the eSIM installs in one tap, then follow the prompts. Once installed, select the eSIM as your data line. You’ll need to enable Data Roaming on the eSIM line (not your primary SIM) to connect in Madagascar.

Do I need to turn on Data Roaming for Madagascar eSIM?
Yes, enable Data Roaming on the eSIM line (not your primary SIM). This allows the eSIM to connect to local networks in Madagascar. You won't be charged roaming fees—it connects as a local plan with no extra charges from your home carrier.
Does Madagascar eSIM support hotspot/tethering?

Your eSIM connects to premium local networks including Airtel with 3G/4G/5G coverage, whether you're in Antananarivo, Nosy Be, or the coastal areas.
Is Madagascar eSIM better than buying a local SIM?
Yes—no airport queues, passport checks, or language barriers. Install your Madagascar eSIM before you travel, land, and connect instantly—ideal for visiting iconic sites like Isalo National Park or exploring Avenue of the Baobabs. Local SIMs require finding a store, dealing with paperwork, and physical swapping.
